What’s Goin On

It has been a while since I made a post, and I’ve been getting pings -“Whats going on?” A lot!

1. I applied to some PM jobs, and still waiting to hear from everyone. To get more ideas on how to break through this PM barrier, I made this post on Quora - “How did you get your first Product Manager job?” 

If you have any thoughts or advice, please contribute to the discussion!

2. I’m also advising a friend on his startup, Splitgear.com- a site for renting photography equipment online. For a few months work, he’s doing an awesome job, so it will be exciting to see where he takes it over the next year.

3. During the day, I am heading over to Butchershop Creative, a creative agency in SF, where I get schooled by Sasha on the coding stuff I haven’t learned yet. Today I learned VIM through the vimtutor.

Last week, I got setup on their iMac I’m using. The installation steps were:

I am working on some notes to fully break this down, and hopefully I can wrap that up later this week.

Even though I am still on the hunt for that PM job, I am still learning. The opportunity the guys at Butchershop have given me has opened my eyes to everything I still need to learn - much more to code than Python, HTML, CSS and JS. 

But I am grateful to Butchershop for letting me hangout at their office, and learn from those guys. I’ll make sure to write more blogposts about the experience!
